+            Boolean flag to start the VM after volume creation
+            Optional - defaults to False
+
+    Examples:
+        1. **Create 500GB Volume:**
+            ```bash
+            salt '*' qcow2.create_volume_config vm_name='sensor1_sensor' size_gb=500
+            ```

+
+    Notes:
+        - VM must be stopped before volume creation
+        - Volume is created as a qcow2 image and attached to the VM
+        - This is an alternative to disk passthrough via modify_hardware_config
+        - Volume is automatically attached to the VM's libvirt configuration
+        - Requires so-kvm-create-volume script to be installed
+        - Volume files are stored in the hypervisor's VM storage directory
+
+    Description:
+        This function creates and attaches a virtual storage volume to a KVM virtual machine
+        using the so-kvm-create-volume script. It creates a qcow2 disk image of the specified
+        size and attaches it to the VM for NSM (Network Security Monitoring) storage purposes.
+        This provides an alternative to physical disk passthrough, allowing flexible storage
+        allocation without requiring dedicated hardware. The VM can optionally be started
+        after the volume is successfully created and attached.

+Script for creating and attaching virtual volumes to KVM virtual machines for NSM storage.
+This script provides functionality to create pre-allocated raw disk images and attach them
+to VMs as virtio-blk devices for high-performance network security monitoring data storage.
+
+The script handles the complete volume lifecycle:
+1. Volume Creation: Creates pre-allocated raw disk images using qemu-img
+2. Volume Attachment: Attaches volumes to VMs as virtio-blk devices
+3. VM Management: Stops/starts VMs as needed during the process
+
+This script is designed to work with Security Onion's virtualization infrastructure and is typically
+used during VM provisioning to add dedicated NSM storage volumes.
+
+**Usage:**
+    so-kvm-create-volume -v <vm_name> -s <size_gb> [-S]
+
+**Options:**
+    -v, --vm          Name of the virtual machine to attach the volume to (required).
+    -s, --size        Size of the volume in GB (required, must be a positive integer).
+    -S, --start       Start the VM after volume creation and attachment (optional).
+
+**Examples:**
+
+1. **Create and Attach 500GB Volume:**
+
+    ```bash
+    so-kvm-create-volume -v vm1_sensor -s 500
+    ```
+
+    This command creates and attaches a volume with the following settings:
+    - VM Name: `vm1_sensor`
+    - Volume Size: `500` GB
+    - Volume Path: `/nsm/libvirt/volumes/vm1_sensor-nsm-<epoch_timestamp>.img`
+    - Device: `/dev/vdb` (virtio-blk)
+    - VM remains stopped after attachment
+
+2. **Create Volume and Start VM:**
+
+    ```bash
+    so-kvm-create-volume -v vm2_sensor -s 1000 -S
+    ```
+
+    This command creates a volume and starts the VM:
+    - VM Name: `vm2_sensor`
+    - Volume Size: `1000` GB (1 TB)
+    - VM is started after volume attachment due to the `-S` flag
+
+3. **Create Large Volume for Heavy Traffic:**
+
+    ```bash
+    so-kvm-create-volume -v vm3_sensor -s 2000 -S
+    ```
+
+    This command creates a large volume for high-traffic environments:
+    - VM Name: `vm3_sensor`
+    - Volume Size: `2000` GB (2 TB)
+    - VM is started after attachment
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- The script automatically stops the VM if it's running before creating and attaching the volume.
+- Volumes are created with full pre-allocation for optimal performance.
+- Volume files are stored in `/nsm/libvirt/volumes/` with naming pattern `<vm_name>-nsm-<epoch_timestamp>.img`.
+- The epoch timestamp ensures unique volume names and prevents conflicts.
+- Volumes are attached as `/dev/vdb` using virtio-blk for high performance.
+- The script checks available disk space before creating the volume.
+- Ownership is set to `qemu:qemu` with permissions `640`.
+- Without the `-S` flag, the VM remains stopped after volume attachment.
+
+**Description:**
+
+The `so-kvm-create-volume` script creates and attaches NSM storage volumes using the following process:
+
+1. **Pre-flight Checks:**
+   - Validates input parameters (VM name, size)
+   - Checks available disk space in `/nsm/libvirt/volumes/`
+   - Ensures sufficient space for the requested volume size
+
+2. **VM State Management:**
+   - Connects to the local libvirt daemon
+   - Stops the VM if it's currently running
+   - Retrieves current VM configuration
+
+3. **Volume Creation:**
+   - Creates volume directory if it doesn't exist
+   - Uses `qemu-img create` with full pre-allocation
+   - Sets proper ownership (qemu:qemu) and permissions (640)
+   - Validates volume creation success
+
+4. **Volume Attachment:**
+   - Modifies VM's libvirt XML configuration
+   - Adds disk element with virtio-blk driver
+   - Configures cache='none' and io='native' for performance
+   - Attaches volume as `/dev/vdb`
+
+5. **VM Redefinition:**
+   - Applies the new configuration by redefining the VM
+   - Optionally starts the VM if requested
+   - Emits deployment status events for monitoring
+
+6. **Error Handling:**
+   - Validates all input parameters
+   - Checks disk space before creation
+   - Handles volume creation failures
+   - Handles volume attachment failures
+   - Provides detailed error messages for troubleshooting
+
+**Exit Codes:**
+
+- `0`: Success
+- `1`: An error occurred during execution
+
+**Logging:**
+
+- Logs are written to `/opt/so/log/hypervisor/so-kvm-create-volume.log`
+- Both file and console logging are enabled for real-time monitoring
+- Log entries include timestamps and severity levels
+- Log prefixes: VOLUME:, VM:, HARDWARE:, SPACE:
+- Detailed error messages are logged for troubleshooting

 Each minion is on a random 15 minute check-in period and things like network bandwidth can be a factor in how long the actual upgrade takes. If you have a heavy node on a slow link, it is going to take a while to get the containers to it. Depending on what changes happened between the versions, Elasticsearch might not be able to talk to said heavy node until the update is complete.
 
-If it looks like you’re missing data after the upgrade, please avoid restarting services and instead make sure at least one search node has completed its upgrade. The best way to do this is to run 'sudo salt-call state.highstate' from a search node and make sure there are no errors. Typically if it works on one node it will work on the rest. Forward nodes are less complex and will update as they check in so you can monitor those from the Grid section of SOC.
